Enstrom's Almond Toffee Review and Giveaway!

One of the best and most popular gifts to give someone special is a box of gourmet chocolates or candies. I have found a place you all need to check out-Enstrom Candies! Enstrom's is home of world famous Almond Toffee, as well as other gourmet gifts.

"Three generations ago, Chet Enstrom perfected the art of blending the finest natural ingredients to create batches of almond toffee as gifts for family and friends. By 1960, his almond toffee had begun to develop a reputation and, at the urging of family and friends, Chet and his wife, Vernie, founded Enstrom Candies in Grand Junction, Colorado.Over the years, the business has grown and been passed down from generation to generation. The family still follows the same original recipe for the almond toffee that Chet perfected almost 80 years ago. They have also created a delectable selection of fine chocolates, which like the toffee, are blended with only the freshest, high-quality ingredients to create luxurious and unique confections that are shipped around the world.Today, Chet's granddaughter, Jamee and her husband, Doug Simons, have owned and operated the company since 1993, and oversee the operation out of Grand Junction. Chet's grandson Rick, and his wife Linda, manage the Denver area retail stores. This third generation continues to take pride in creating truly exceptional confections and still operates with the philosophy begun by Chet; that they're just making a little Almond Toffee for a few of their friends."

I was sent a 1 pound box of Almond Toffee, and the first thing I noticed was the lovely packaging; the toffee comes in a very attractive box:

The Almond Toffee is very delicious. It is made with fresh California almonds, sweet cream butter, cane sugar, covered with chocolate and sprinkled with another layer of crushed almonds. I'm not what you'd call a huge toffee fan, but Enstroms's Almond Toffee is great! Very rich and flavorful; this would make the perfect gift for someone special!
